About The Artwork

The original works were painted using acrylic paints and gold leaf on Italian linen in Piemonte Size: 90cm W x 180cm h. A tribute to Gian Lorenzo Bernini's Proserpine, La Sirena is inspired by the fierce tides in the bay of Borgarnes.

La Sirena has lost her sextant, which drifts away in the swells behind her. She swims in the splendour of Hrongkelsavik bay in Borgarnes, among the plankton and lump fish, also known as the sea owl. 

This series is titled The Elements - Humbled by Nature is a fusion of styles; abstract and figurative, morphing people I know and places I've lived to create my own mythological archetypes in surreal landscapes. I paint on heavy large linen panels which eventually hang loosely, to evoke the feeling of a tapestry.

The Elements were exhibited at Knoerle Baettig Contemporary Fine Art Switzerland

Shipping & Returns

Delivery Time:Typically 5-7 business days for domestic shipments, 10-14 business days for international shipments.

I paint fervently for long intervals, as if I were walking blindfolded through nature, feeling the color with my skin. My artwork is represented in private and corporate collections in the United States, Switzerland, France and The Netherlands. Notable Exhibitions: Galerie Cècile Charron in Paris, Galleria del Arte Ill Milennio in Venice, Gallery Knoerle Baetig Fine Art, Galerie Mainau, Zurcher Kantonal Bank and AXA Winterthur in Switzerland. Internships In the Netherlands I apprenticed with the painter poet Anton Martineu, attended the Rietveld academy, and in India at the Honey Arts Modelling center I apprenticed in the "lost wax method" bronze casting technique. In Iceland I established the platform Fluxus Design Tribe and produced the film Pourqois Pas Borgarnes. Maine's Cafe Review selected the Mermaid for their cover of the Icelandic Poetry Edition. I am the co-founder and producer of MAP Magazine Artist Professionals and the Open Doors Event and Outside Inside platforms for artists working in Winterthur Switzerland. I gained Dutch and US attention with my illustrations in the book 'Closed Curtains Lives of de Wallen'. Other illustrations of mine have been published by the Dutch & Belgium publication 'Joie de Vivre'.
